I have not yet had any success getting 1.7.5 to run inside the Nxt Wallet app. It runs, and can be accessed in a browser, but I can't get the UI to display within the app. I'll keep trying to figure out the problem. I seem to run into something like this with every update...

Thanks for your help Poofknuckle. Hope there will be a solution for this. I really hate terminals/command lines.

OK, I have a temporary solution while I work on getting the Nxt Wallet.app to work with 1.7.5. This will at least let you avoid the command line.

Download the latest client, and put it in your Applications folder:

https://bitbucket.org/JeanLucPicard/nxt/downloads/nxt-client-1.7.5.zip

Download this app called "Nxt Launcher":

http://cl.ly/3w2N1Z0Q3x2k

When you run it, it will launch Nxt and then open the wallet in a browser window for you.

An improved version: this now includes Nxt, so all you have to do is download this single app and run it. It will launch Nxt, open the Nxt Wallet in a browser, and start downloading the blockchain.

If you'd rather not have Nxt bundled, the version above remains available.

New version here:

Please let me know of any bugs you run into.

Clarification, the official .dmg installer https://bitbucket.org/JeanLucPicard/nxt/downloads/nxt-installer-1.7.5.dmg has a problem when you invoke run.command from the finder.
You'll get a 404 error when loading index.html from http://localhost:7876

To use this NXT installation, assuming it is installed to the default location, open a terminal window then issue the following commands:
cd /Applications/NXT
./run.command

Once the server is loaded, you should be able to connect to http://localhost:7876 using the local Safari browser.

I'll try to fix this 1.7.6

My (old version) NXT wallet did the mandatory update and stopped working, it would hang on launch without any error message.

I deleted it and downloaded the 1.7.5 Mac wallet from nxt.org and that wouldn't even launch - would fail almost instantly with "An error occurred, the server has quit. Please restart the application."
Multiple restarts to no avail.

I downloaded the JLP version and it failed with the 404 error within my browser. I got it working by launching nxt.jar first and now it is downloading the blockchain.

Personally I am a long term NXT holder and have faith in the developers, but surely releasing buggy wallets isn't good for attracting new people to the community?

Currently the only way to use the "official" installer without getting a 404 error on index.html is to invoke run.command from a terminal window not from the finder.
In short, download and and open https://bitbucket.org/JeanLucPicard/nxt/downloads/nxt-installer-1.7.5.dmg then install NXT into /Applications/NXT using the NXT installer app.

Now, open a terminal window (Application / Utilities folder) then issue the following commands:
cd /Applications/NXT
./run.command

The database, logs and conf are all stored under /Applications/NXT when using this configuration.

Thanks for the help but I didn't need to use terminal

I need a brave soul to test my first home-made Mac Nxt Wallet with NRS 1.7.5. (not based on any code from the original Nxt Wallet).

This should be everything you need. It will start the blockchain download after start-up. Note: you will not see anything in the window for about 10 seconds after launch. I am working on that.

Thanks Poof. I'll give it a try once I get home.

I will try it. Maybe you can update the post in the OP of this topic too?

It's tuck for 10 minutes on this screen:

That should not last any longer than 10 seconds. Can you tell me your OS version?

farl4bit · « **Reply #113 on:** February 12, 2016, 02:07:53 pm »

10.11.3

10.11.3

OK, that is the same as me. Next, I guess check your Java version. I am running Java 8 Update 65. Not the most recent (that would be Update 73), but Java 8 should be enough.

I can also make you a special version that spits out some diagnostics so we can see what is happening in your case.

farl4bit · « **Reply #115 on:** February 13, 2016, 06:00:01 pm »

I have JAVA 8 UPdate 73 running

PoofKnuckle · « **Reply #116 on:** February 13, 2016, 08:09:46 pm »

OK, here is an app that will give you lots of diagnostic info. It will still run Nxt if it can (though you'll need to use your browser to get to it), but in your case it should fail to run, just like the regular Nxt Wallet app. Let me know what the output is, so I can troubleshoot.

Thanks!

I downloaded the latest Java and installed your client.
However, when starting, I always get the same message that an error has occurred and I have to restart the application.
If I try to start the official client, it get stuck or just now it gave the message 'The server address is already in use. Please close any other apps/services that may be running on port 7876'. Strange because I don't have anything else running for the moment...

The txt launcher seems to be working. The blockchain is downloading.
Is this a safe solution?

The Launcher app is fine, it just requires that you use a browser, instead of staying within the app like the Wallet.

If it works for you, then absolutely, you can use it.
